THE Nigerian Navy, in the Delta state, arrested a self propelled barge MT Camille, loaded with estimated 4000 metric tonnes, equivalent of 400 truck load of suspected crude, on November 15, along Forcados waters where Shell operates an oil terminal.

The crew captain however claimed they were sailing on a voyage from Thelma, Ghana to Cameroon but the boat was at the Forcados rivers to get fuel and food when it was allegedly hijacked by gunmen who deployed them for oil theft.
